26 Depois, Agripa disse a Paulo: Permite-se-te que te defendas. Então, Paulo, estendendo a mão em sua defesa, respondeu:
2 Tenho-me por venturoso, ó rei Agripa, de que perante ti me haja, hoje, de defender de todas as coisas de que sou acusado pelos judeus, 3 mormente sabendo eu que tens conhecimento de todos os costumes e questões que há entre os judeus; pelo que te rogo que me ouças com paciência. 4 A minha vida, pois, desde a mocidade, qual haja sido, desde o princípio, em Jerusalém, entre os da minha nação, todos os judeus a sabem. 5 Sabendo de mim, desde o princípio (se o quiserem testificar), que, conforme a mais severa seita da nossa religião, vivi fariseu. 6 E, agora, pela esperança da promessa que por Deus foi feita a nossos pais, estou aqui e sou julgado, 7 à qual as nossas doze tribos esperam chegar, servindo a Deus continuamente, noite e dia. Por esta esperança, ó rei Agripa, eu sou acusado pelos judeus. 8 Pois quê? Julga-se coisa incrível entre vós que Deus ressuscite os mortos? 9 Bem tinha eu imaginado que contra o nome de Jesus, o Nazareno, devia eu praticar muitos atos, 10 o que também fiz em Jerusalém. E, havendo recebido poder dos principais dos sacerdotes, encerrei muitos dos santos nas prisões; e, quando os matavam, eu dava o meu voto contra eles. 11 E, castigando-os muitas vezes por todas as sinagogas, os obriguei a blasfemar. E, enfurecido demasiadamente contra eles, até nas cidades estranhas os persegui.
12 Sobre o que, indo, então, a Damasco, com poder e comissão dos principais dos sacerdotes, 13 ao meio-dia, ó rei, vi no caminho uma luz do céu, que excedia o esplendor do sol, cuja claridade me envolveu a mim e aos que iam comigo. 14 E, caindo nós todos por terra, ouvi uma voz que me falava e, em língua hebraica, dizia: Saulo, Saulo, por que me persegues? Dura coisa te é recalcitrar contra os aguilhões. 15 E disse eu: Quem és, Senhor? E ele respondeu: Eu sou Jesus, a quem tu persegues. 16 Mas levanta-te e põe-te sobre teus pés, porque te apareci por isto, para te pôr por ministro e testemunha tanto das coisas que tens visto como daquelas pelas quais te aparecerei ainda, 17 livrando-te deste povo e dos gentios, a quem agora te envio, 18 para lhes abrires os olhos e das trevas os converteres à luz e do poder de Satanás a Deus, a fim de que recebam a remissão dos pecados e sorte entre os santificados pela fé em mim.
19 Pelo que, ó rei Agripa, não fui desobediente à visão celestial. 20 Antes, anunciei primeiramente aos que estão em Damasco e em Jerusalém, e por toda a terra da Judeia, e aos gentios, que se emendassem e se convertessem a Deus, fazendo obras dignas de arrependimento. 21 Por causa disto, os judeus lançaram mão de mim no templo e procuraram matar-me. 22 Mas, alcançando socorro de Deus, ainda até ao dia de hoje permaneço, dando testemunho, tanto a pequenos como a grandes, não dizendo nada mais do que o que os profetas e Moisés disseram que devia acontecer, 23 isto é, que o Cristo devia padecer e, sendo o primeiro da ressurreição dos mortos, devia anunciar a luz a este povo e aos gentios.
24 E, dizendo ele isto em sua defesa, disse Festo em alta voz: Estás louco, Paulo! As muitas letras te fazem delirar! 25 Mas ele disse: Não deliro, ó potentíssimo Festo! Antes, digo palavras de verdade e de um são juízo. 26 Porque o rei, diante de quem falo com ousadia, sabe estas coisas, pois não creio que nada disto lhe é oculto; porque isto não se fez em qualquer canto. 27 Crês tu nos profetas, ó rei Agripa? Bem sei que crês. 28 E disse Agripa a Paulo: Por pouco me queres persuadir a que me faça cristão! 29 E disse Paulo: Prouvera a Deus que, ou por pouco ou por muito, não somente tu, mas também todos quantos hoje me estão ouvindo se tornassem tais qual eu sou, exceto estas cadeias.
30 Dizendo ele isto, se levantou o rei, e o governador, e Berenice, e os que com eles estavam assentados. 31 E, apartando-se dali, falavam uns com os outros, dizendo: Este homem nada fez digno de morte ou de prisões. 32 E Agripa disse a Festo: Bem podia soltar-se este homem, se não houvera apelado para César.

26 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You have permission to speak for yourself.”(A)
So Paul motioned with his hand(B) and began his defense: 2 “King Agrippa, I consider myself fortunate to stand before you(C) today as I make my defense against all the accusations of the Jews,(D) 3 and especially so because you are well acquainted with all the Jewish customs(E) and controversies.(F) Therefore, I beg you to listen to me patiently.
4 “The Jewish people all know the way I have lived ever since I was a child,(G) from the beginning of my life in my own country, and also in Jerusalem. 5 They have known me for a long time(H) and can testify, if they are willing, that I conformed to the strictest sect(I) of our religion, living as a Pharisee.(J) 6 And now it is because of my hope(K) in what God has promised our ancestors(L) that I am on trial today. 7 This is the promise our twelve tribes(M) are hoping to see fulfilled as they earnestly serve God day and night.(N) King Agrippa, it is because of this hope that these Jews are accusing me.(O) 8 Why should any of you consider it incredible that God raises the dead?(P)
9 “I too was convinced(Q) that I ought to do all that was possible to oppose(R) the name of Jesus of Nazareth.(S) 10 And that is just what I did in Jerusalem. On the authority of the chief priests I put many of the Lord’s people(T) in prison,(U) and when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them.(V) 11 Many a time I went from one synagogue to another to have them punished,(W) and I tried to force them to blaspheme. I was so obsessed with persecuting them that I even hunted them down in foreign cities.
12 “On one of these journeys I was going to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests. 13 About noon, King Agrippa, as I was on the road, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, blazing around me and my companions. 14 We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice(X) saying to me in Aramaic,[a](Y) ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’
15 “Then I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?’
“ ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied. 16 ‘Now get up and stand on your feet.(Z) I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen and will see of me.(AA) 17 I will rescue you(AB) from your own people and from the Gentiles.(AC) I am sending you to them 18 to open their eyes(AD) and turn them from darkness to light,(AE) and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins(AF) and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’(AG)
19 “So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient(AH) to the vision from heaven. 20 First to those in Damascus,(AI) then to those in Jerusalem(AJ) and in all Judea, and then to the Gentiles,(AK) I preached that they should repent(AL) and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds.(AM) 21 That is why some Jews seized me(AN) in the temple courts and tried to kill me.(AO) 22 But God has helped me to this very day; so I stand here and testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen(AP)— 23 that the Messiah would suffer(AQ) and, as the first to rise from the dead,(AR) would bring the message of light to his own people and to the Gentiles.”(AS)
24 At this point Festus interrupted Paul’s defense. “You are out of your mind,(AT) Paul!” he shouted. “Your great learning(AU) is driving you insane.”
25 “I am not insane, most excellent(AV) Festus,” Paul replied. “What I am saying is true and reasonable. 26 The king is familiar with these things,(AW) and I can speak freely to him. I am convinced that none of this has escaped his notice, because it was not done in a corner. 27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do.”
28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?”(AX)
29 Paul replied, “Short time or long—I pray to God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains.”(AY)
30 The king rose, and with him the governor and Bernice(AZ) and those sitting with them. 31 After they left the room, they began saying to one another, “This man is not doing anything that deserves death or imprisonment.”(BA)
32 Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been set free(BB) if he had not appealed to Caesar.”(BC)

26 Entonces Agripa dijo a Pablo:
—Tienes permiso para defenderte.
Pablo hizo un ademán con la mano y comenzó así su defensa:
2 —Rey Agripa, para mí es un privilegio presentarme hoy ante usted para defenderme de las acusaciones de los judíos, 3 sobre todo porque usted está bien informado de todas las tradiciones y controversias de los judíos. Por eso le ruego que me escuche con paciencia.
4 »Todos los judíos saben cómo he vivido desde que era niño, desde mi edad temprana entre mi gente y también en Jerusalén. 5 Ellos me conocen desde hace mucho tiempo y pueden atestiguar, si quieren, que viví como fariseo, de acuerdo con la secta más estricta de nuestra religión. 6 Y ahora me juzgan por la esperanza que tengo en la promesa que Dios hizo a nuestros antepasados. 7 Esta es la promesa que nuestras doce tribus esperan alcanzar adorando a Dios con diligencia día y noche. Es por esta esperanza, oh rey, por lo que me acusan los judíos. 8 ¿Por qué consideran ustedes increíble que Dios resucite a los muertos?
9 »Pues bien, yo mismo estaba convencido de que debía hacer todo lo posible por combatir el nombre de Jesús de Nazaret. 10 Eso es precisamente lo que hice en Jerusalén. Con la autoridad de los jefes de los sacerdotes metí en la cárcel a muchos de los creyentes y, cuando los mataban, yo manifestaba mi aprobación. 11 Muchas veces anduve de sinagoga en sinagoga castigándolos para obligarlos a blasfemar. Mi obsesión contra ellos me llevaba al extremo de perseguirlos incluso en ciudades del extranjero.
12 »En uno de esos viajes iba yo hacia Damasco con la autoridad y la comisión de los jefes de los sacerdotes. 13 A eso del mediodía, oh rey, mientras iba por el camino, vi una luz del cielo, más brillante que el sol, que con su resplandor nos envolvió a mí y a mis acompañantes. 14 Todos caímos al suelo y yo oí una voz que me decía en hebreo: “Saulo, Saulo, ¿por qué me persigues? ¡Solo te haces daño a ti mismo!”.[a] 15 Entonces pregunté: “¿Quién eres, Señor?”. “Yo soy Jesús, a quien tú persigues —me contestó el Señor—. 16 Ahora, ponte en pie. Me he aparecido a ti con el fin de designarte siervo y testigo de lo que has visto de mí y de lo que te voy a revelar. 17 Te libraré de tu propio pueblo y de los no judíos. Te envío a ellos 18 para que les abras los ojos y se conviertan de las tinieblas a la luz y del poder de Satanás a Dios, a fin de que, por la fe en mí, reciban el perdón de los pecados y la herencia entre los santificados”.
19 »Así que, rey Agripa, no fui desobediente a esa visión celestial. 20 Al contrario, comenzando con los que estaban en Damasco, siguiendo con los que estaban en Jerusalén y en toda Judea, y luego con los no judíos, a todos les prediqué que se arrepintieran y se convirtieran a Dios, y que demostraran su arrepentimiento con sus buenas obras. 21 Solo por eso los judíos me detuvieron en el Templo y trataron de matarme. 22 Pero Dios me ha ayudado hasta hoy y así me mantengo firme, testificando a grandes y pequeños. No he dicho sino lo que los profetas y Moisés ya dijeron que sucedería: 23 que el Cristo padecería y que, siendo el primero en resucitar, proclamaría la luz a su propio pueblo y a los no judíos.
24 Al llegar Pablo a este punto de su defensa, Festo interrumpió.
—¡Estás loco, Pablo! —le gritó—. El mucho estudio te ha hecho perder la cabeza.
25 —No estoy loco, excelentísimo Festo —contestó Pablo—. Lo que digo es cierto y sensato. 26 El rey está familiarizado con estas cosas y por eso hablo ante él con tanto atrevimiento. Estoy convencido de que nada de esto ignora, porque no sucedió en un rincón. 27 Rey Agripa, ¿cree usted en los profetas? ¡A mí me consta que sí!
28 —Un poco más y me convences de hacerme cristiano —dijo Agripa.
29 Pablo respondió:
—Sea por poco o por mucho, pido a Dios que no solo usted, sino también todos los que me están escuchando hoy lleguen a ser como yo, aunque sin estas cadenas.
30 Se levantó el rey, también el gobernador, Berenice y los que estaban sentados con ellos. 31 Al retirarse, decían entre sí:
—Este hombre no ha hecho nada que merezca la muerte ni la cárcel.
32 Y Agripa dijo a Festo:
—Se podría poner en libertad a este hombre si no hubiera apelado al césar.

26 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:
2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:
3 Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
4 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;
5 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God, unto our fathers:
7 Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.
8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?
9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.
11 And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.
12 Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,
13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.
14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.
22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
23 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
24 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.
25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
26 For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.
27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
30 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:
31 And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
